Ingredients
- 4 fillets (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 medium, peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces sweet potatoes
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves, minced garlic cloves
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 1/2 tsp, divided salt
- 1 tsp, divided black pepper
- for serving lemon wedges
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Toss 2 medium peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread them on one side of the sheet pan in a single layer.
- Step 2: Roast sweet potatoes for 15 minutes until starting to soften. Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix 3 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Step 3: Remove pan from oven and arrange 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on the empty side of the pan. Brush each fillet generously with half of the maple glaze.
- Step 4: Scatter 3 cups broccoli florets tossed with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper around the salmon. Return the pan to oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and vegetables are tender.
- Step 5: Brush the salmon once more with remaining maple glaze during the last 2 minutes of cooking for a sticky finish. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing.
